Broken Lines

A squad goes down in hostile territory in an alternate version of Eastern Europe during the Second World War, and the survivors must make their way home with little support. The war weighs on the soldiers as much as the enemy does, so how you handle the group matters as much as how you fight. Combat is turn-based, and teamwork is the main way to stay alive.

The included expansion adds a supernatural strand in which the fallen rise, giving the squad three-way fights against living enemies and the undead. From the studios BirdIsland and PortaPlay, this single-player, story-driven tactics game has a grim tone and suits players who like squad management and narrative alongside careful tactical combat.
